Lawlor Obliged to Call Down Attorneys HAAS CASE INQUEST BEGUN Defaatting Cashier Resigned to Fate Soft Headed Youth Suicides in Wife's Finery Special to the Evening Review. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 19. Bit ter personalities between Attorney Ach and the attorneys for the prose cution marked the resumption of the Ruef trial today. The wrangle was cut short, however, by Judge Lawlor, who declared that he would take measures to prevent recurrence of the .incident. The quarrel arose over questions propounded to .lames Gal lagher, chief of the Doodling board of supervisors, now star witness for the Btate, relative to the details, of the signing of an Immunity contract between Rudolph Spreckles and members of the boodllng board. The coroner's Inquest to fix res ponsibility for the suicide of Morris Haas, who shot Heney, was begun to day. It is the theory of Detective Burns that the derringer with which Haas shot and killed himself was secreted In his shoe when he was locked up in jail. Heney's condition continues to Im prove.

SALEM, Or., Nov. 19. Attorney General Crawford was notified today that the Portland General Electric Company will appeal to the United States Supreme Court from the de cision of the Oregon Supreme Court in the case wherein the electric com pany, was held obligated to pay into the state school fund 10 per cent of the gross earnings on the Oregon City locks. The stnte will resist the appeal on the ground that the higher court has no jurisdiction. STALEY NOT SUSTAINED. Southern Pacific Valuation Stays at $:IO,000 Per Mile. County Assessor G. W. Staley's valuation of $44,250 per mile upon the road bed and rolling stock of the Southern Pacific Railway In Douglas County for 1908 was not sustained by his two fellow members of the Hoard of Equalization at a session held this morning. County Judge G. W. Wonacott and County Clerk B. H. Lenox, who are the other two mem bers of the board, voted for the rail way company's valuation to remain at $30,000, for which It waB assessed In 1907. Mr. Staley standing by his original figure, voted for an Increase of $14,250 per mile. As the major ity of the board rules, however, the assessment of the Southern Pacific will therefore stand at $30(000. The board will probably complete its labors for the term by this even ing. All of the petitions of lesser Im portance have been acted upon, but they are still to decide upon the ap plications for decreased assessment from three large concerns, the Elk fCreek Lumber Company, the Gardln- not consider Buch a figure too high In man. view of the fact that the schedulo filed by the railroad company with the state railroad commission placed the cost of the road at $59,000 per mile. Judge Wonacott contended, however, that this figure did not rep resent the original coBt of the road per mile, but that part of the amount represented what had been expended In maintenance and repairs. Further more, he said, most of the assessors of the western part of the state had come to the agreement that $30,000 Is about as near the actual cost and value of the road per mile as could be determined. The assessors of Clackamas. Marlon, Linn. Lane and Josephine counties have assessed the Southern Pacific at $30,000 per mile. In Jackson county it Is even less, while in Multnomah it is only $2000 more. Mr. Lenox' views on the mat ter are practically the same as those of Judge Wonacott. They believe that placing the assessment at $44,250 per mile In this county would result In long and expensive litigation, since no other county'B assessment is any where near that figure.

Identifies "Clark" as Summers, of Throckmorton STORY TOLD WITHOUT HITCH Swears Also "Wife" at Gardiner Sot One He Knew in Texas Father and Officer Enronte Tho iron grip of tlio law fastened itself more securely around Kuv. CJeorge "Clark,' of Gardiner, in Jus tice Long's court this morning, when Jack Parrott, a recent arrival at Gardiner, poult! vqly and emphatically identMk'd the minister us Kuv. George C. Summers, who is wanted at Throckmorton, Texas, on the eJinrge of obtaining money under false pro-tenses. With equal positive- ness, Parrott declared tho woman with whom the minister was living at Gnrdluer and the mother of two children is an acquaintance of his boyhood days and not the woman and mother of threo children whom he knew as Summers wife in Throck morton, where lie, himself, lived for many years beforo coming to Oregon "It is impossible for the Almighty God -to make two different men exact ly like Rev. Summers," declared Par rott, on the witness stand; "and It Is more Impossible in the case of the woman at Ciarldner whom he calls his wife." Hesldes Parrott's state ment, there was Introduced in evi dence n periodical published by a Dps Moines detective bureau, containing a picture of the accused nuiii, to gether with a personal description that tallied to the most minute de tail. Tho article said, however, that Summers was wanted on two charges, instead of one charge, of obtaining money under false pretenses, and that ho would probably be accompanied a blond 1! woman. The "Mrs. Clark" at Gardiner is a blonde. District Attorney llrown also in troduced in evidence a telegram slat ting that the sheriff of Throckmorton county, Texas, J. C. Sherlock, wan now enroute to Salem, Oregon, arm ed with requisition pnpers. lie is ac companied by Judge Massie, also of Throckmorton, whom Parrott says is the father of 4Jig woman living with the minister at Gardiner. The two men are expected lo reach Roseburg next Sunday. In order to got their testimony, Justice Long continued the examination over until Monday. rumitt.s Nlory. Parrott stated (lint ho was cm ployed by the Gardiner Mill Com pany, althnugh he claimed Throck morton as his home. Ho said he Ilrst met Kev. Summers In Throckmorton In the fall of 1U02, and that on nil in erous occasions afterwards he had either heard him preach or engaged with him In personal conversation Ills flmt meeting with the minister occurred at the house of his ( rott'B) uncle, whose wife, he said, is a sister of the woman living with "Clark at Gardiner. This woman a Gardiner, Parrott said, he has known since ho was 8 years of age. Her maiden name is Itessle Massey. At a church at Gardiner one evening. Par rott said he saw Summers and In stantly recognized him. The minis ter evidently recognized Parrott, , bwatifip, at tho witness testified, he Htared at him constantly throughou the service. 'When I heard his voice in pray " declared Parrott, I hear' the same voice that I knew n Throckmorton. When I saw his walk and met that peculiar look In Ms eyes, then 1 was sure he was th man. It Is Impossible for me to be mistaken. His Ro-called wife I rec ognized as quickly as I did him, she is not the woman that I knew bf his wife In Texas. In that state h had three children, -the ages rangln from 21 to R years; at Gardiner h has two children, one 3 yearn of age and the other about one-half an old Parrott then went Into detail: about hifl correspondence with hi uncle In Texas, which led up to th telegram 'to Sheriff Kenton for th minister's arrest. On cross-examina tlon by Attorney Cardwell hln story did not vary In the slightest par tlcutar. Ho denied that hp was actuated I this cap by the reward of 12 HO offer ed for the minister, and In response to one question said that he knew no Rev. Summers while In 1xn other than the man now on trla Parrott'a demeanor while on th stand was one of absolute ronfldnr and ho told his story witlioiit a hitch The effect of his damaelnjc statemen wan not apparent on the defendant at Hrst. but an his testimony progressed gradually the accused man iMram verv nervotm and ppem-d rellevi when the ordeal was over.

Every other day sees a sanatorium. asoctatiou or dispensary for the treat ment or prevention of tuberculosis established In this country, Is a state ment issued today by the National Association for the Study and Pre vention of Tuberculosis. During the months of September and October, lti associations, 10 sanatoria, and 5 dis pensaries were started or provided for the United States, making a record achievement in anti-tuberculosis activity never before equalled In any country of tho world. The stimulus for this wave of philanthropic endeav- has been derived largely from the recent International Congress of Tub erculosis. From one encf of tho country to 3 other, men and women of all ranks and classes, are rising up to fight in the battle against tubercul osis. Including the recently formed sociotles, there are at the present me 211 associations for tho study and prevention of tuberculosis In the nited States, with a total member ship of over 20,000, all engaged in an active war on consumption. Never before In the history of tho country, as such an army been massed to light against disease. And, with the resent rnte of Increase sustained, it estimated 'that the army will be oubled in size within a year. On January 1, llMKi, there were in the lilted States only 24 association for tho study and prevention of tub culosls. . Ry January 1, 1900, there ill undoubtedly be 2 HO such asso ciations, an Increase of over 800 per cent. Tho states which lead In 'the umber of associations are, Massa chusetts with 20, New Jersey with 2, New York with 19, Michigan with 6, and Pennsylvania with 14. Thir ty-five of the forty-six states have one or more associations. Thcao associations are all Hi linn hroplc in organization, and are com posed of physicians and laymen, holh men and women, who are anxious to sens tho number of deaths from tuber-1 ulosis reduced. That such organlza- nns are Instrumental In saving life may be seen from the reduced death-1 rates in several states and cities. In , Hoston, tho death-rate was reduced from 21.70 to 18.40 per ten thousand. argely through effort a of the local association. In New York, It Is es timated that tho campaign against tuberculosis has saved o the city nnualy at least 3000 lives. In Chicago, a similar reduction In tin umber of deaths from tuberculosh as been affected. The Lncrease in the number of san- torla at the present time, Is also particularly noteworthy, since the eed for beds for tuberculosis pat ents Is evident in every state. There re, at tho present time, 2ti0 sana toria and hospitals making special provision for tuberculosis patients, and tho entire bed capacity of all of these Institutions Is but 1 ;,imm. When It Is considered that there are n tho United States at least 41i0,000 people suffering from tuberculosis. 3 of which number ought to he in sanatoria or liOHpltfals, the lack of proper bed capacity Is very evident. Tho dispensary movement, one or the later phases in the antl-tuhcrcu- obIb campaign, is also receiving a great Impetus. Four years ago, there were only 19 dispensaries In the 1 tilted States; at the present time there are 165, and new ones are he- ng established at the rate of one n week. These dispensaries nre place. o which nnvone who thinks that he has consumption, or knows Hint he has the disease, may go and no ex amined and given proper advice and rent men t free of charge, or for very small sum. The emphasis In hese Institutions has Keen laid fl regular and sanitary life mi the part of the patient, nnd on his sleeping in tho open air. CAI SM OK CA.NCIIIt.
